Pain caused by injuries or chronic ailments can be debilitating and often keeps you from participating in the activities you enjoy. While pain relieving drugs can provide temporary relief, most pain medications simply disrupt the body's pain signals to the brain, rather than removing the cause or source of that pain, and can often cause adverse effects on detoxifying organs when they are used continuously. As a proven natural alternative, infrared therapy offers deep, penetrating warmth for the temporary relief of acute and chronic pain, while it also enhances the body's own natural healing response. Body tissues are safely and gently heated through the absorption of infrared thermal energy, which the body responds to by attempting to maintain a condition of homeostasis; a state of equilibrium or a balanced environment throughout the body. The increased temperature causes the body to increase blood flow to the treated area, which results in faster healing and relief from pain.

Rehabmart is pleased to introduce this infrared therapy in the Thermotex™ product line, a convenient, portable therapy system that you can use wherever you roam to give you fast and effective temporary pain relief whenever and wherever you may need it. The Thermotex™ infrared therapy products provide deep and penetrating warmth for pain experienced with a variety of conditions including back pain, tennis/golfer's elbow, rotator cuff injuries, tendonitis, arthritis, bursitis, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel, and lactic acid build-up. Available in an assortment of sizes intended for specific parts of the body, the infrared products from Thermotex™ use very little wattage and can run on a power inverter (not included) that plugs into the cigarette lighter in a vehicle, so you can take them with you wherever you go.

In studies conducted comparing infrared thermal energy to conventional heating pads, the heating pads only penetrated two to three millimeters into the body, while the penetration depth of the infrared was six centimeters. The Thermotex™ products additionally operate on the low setting at temperatures pivoting from 44C, as opposed to typical heating pads that are often in excess of 55C, and will not dehydrate or burn the skin when used as directed.

All of the Thermotex™ infrared products are registered medical devices with both Health Canada, and the US Food and Drug Administration. They are available in an assortment of sizes and styles to accommodate a wide variety of chronic and acute pain situations for different parts of the body:
